Writing

Yes, I can make a tomato sound like breaking news. Below is a sample farmers market newsletter written in AP style. Every farmer, quote and orchard is made up, but the hunger it causes is 100% real.

What I write: AP style, SEO writing, UX writing, and copywriting.

Farmers market returns April 6 with 40 local growers

SAMPLE NEWSLETTER · Made-up event, names, places and quotes · For AP style practice only

RALEIGH, N.C. — Forget the grocery store aisle. On April 6, the best of North Carolina’s farms will be sitting on tables, still dusty from the field, and the people who grew it will be handing it to you.

The farmers market runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Heron Meadow Park, bringing growers, bakers and makers together for a day built around one idea: Food tastes better when you know where it came from.
